Mr. Grumpy has come out to play and his demeanor is infectious:


Because I am a Timmy player at heart and Mr. Grumpy here is a quintessential Timmy creature. He is big and beefy, produces tokens and has a "big" effect when any of your elementals die making him perfect for my playstyle.

The main focus of this deck is to burn our opponents out of the game. Cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, Spitebellows, and Warstorm Surge cause damage whenever a creature hits the battlefield for us. Those same creatures can also cause damage upon death with Omnath, Locus of Rage himself.

Additionally this deck can provide a massive wallop with Soulblast while Omnath is in play.

To make Omnath more explosive, additional token producers are included. Rakka Mar, Rampaging Baloths, Titania, Protector of Argoth, Verdant Force, Tempt with Vengeance, Avenger of Zendikar, and Zendikar's Roil produce elementals and other tokens. Parallel Lives and Second Harvest double those tokens.

We can ensure that our dying creatures benefit us with Evolutionary Leap to find replacements, deal more damage with Goblin Bombardment, ramp with Ashnod's Altar, or card draw through Skullclamp and Skullmulcher.

Consistent landfall triggers occur in this deck through Mina and Denn, Wildborn, Oblivion Sower, Perilous Forays, Courser of Kruphix, and numerous ramp spells.

Listed here are a few miscellaneous cards that I find are really powerful in this deck,

Abundance - Sort of a toolbox type card which allows the deck to dig for a land or a necessary non-land spell with every draw

Asceticism and Swiftfoot Boots - Mr. Grumpy doesn't like to be bothered!

Silklash Spider and Tornado Elemental - These two keep the skies clear, which as an area of struggle for this deck

Defense of the Heart - not your traditional tutor but I happen to have one laying around


Suggestions are always welcome and please +1 if you like the deck!

After some recent games I realized that I needed to up the land count, as well as streamline the deck a tad to get Omnath out earlier. In response I made the following changes:

In:

2xForest & Ghost Town - Land are essentially spells in this deck so a few more basics and a land that can bounce itself help ensure I can consistently trigger Omnath.

Fires of Yavimaya - I needed a haste enabler. I am also considering adding Hammer of Purphoros, but I am not exactly sure what to remove for it.

Cultivate - More basic land tutor to ramp quicker

Budoka Gardener  Flip - This guy is bonkers. He accelerates my mana base and creates at least a 10/10 for 6 mana every turn once he flips.

Out:

Homeward Path - While a fantastic land, there really isn't much Control Magic or Insurrection type effects in my play group so it was under performing.

Oblivion Sower - While this card can be great, I usually would rather prefer casting most of my other creatures.

Brighthearth Banneret - The cost reduction is nice for Omnath, but I would rather just ramp.

Evolutionary Leap - This was a tough cut as it is a cheap and reliable sac outlet that doesn't attract too much hate. However, I feel that having a haste enabler is more important to this deck. Also, I am already running a number of creature tutors so I felt I could cut this card. It may return though.

Silklash Spider - While a great protection against flying, I do still run Tornado Elemental and I can just shoot troublesome flyers with Omnath triggers

Shaman of Forgotten Ways - Less effective with fewer creatures. Budoka Gardener  Flip sort of fills his role as well.

One card I would really like to add is Elemental Bond, but I am unsure what to cut for it.
